La obra que abrió el camino a la reivindicación del papel de la mujer en la historia
Más de 500.000 ejemplares vendidos
«Ahonda en la búsqueda de un nuevo canon femenino de la literatura y el arte . --Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, El País
Os aseguro que alguien se acordará de nosotras en el futuro.
Con esta frase, la poeta Safo mostraba a sus compañeras su confianza en la trascendencia de su contribución a la cultura universal. Desde entonces, han pasado más de dos mil quinientos años en los que el silencio y el sometimiento al poder androcéntrico se precipitaron sobre las mujeres creadoras. Sin embargo, hace décadas que en todo el mundo surgen voces que reivindican la necesidad de revisar la historia para devolver a la mujer su exacto papel en ella. Una, pionera en España, es la de Ángeles Caso, que en 2005 puso en marcha con Las olvidadas un ambicioso proyecto de reconstrucción de una genealogía cultural femenina. La historia editorial del libro demostró la urgencia de esta labor: tras varias ediciones y medio millón de ejemplares vendidos, continúa siendo hoy una obra imprescindible para entender la verdadera trascendencia de lo que el canon trató de acallar.
More than 500,000 copies sold
"Deepens the search for a new feminine literary and artistic canon."- Jesús Ruiz Mantilla, El País
Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.
With this assurance, the poet Sappho proclaimed the transcendence of women's contribution to universal culture. Since then, more than 2,500 years of silence and male-centered power have weighed on female creators. For decades, however, a variety of voices have called for rewriting history to restore women's role in its pages. A pioneer of such efforts in Spain is Ángeles Caso, whose The Forgotten launched an ambitious project in 2005 to create a women's cultural genealogy. The book's publication history demonstrates the urgency of this task: Several editions later, with half a million copies sold, it continues to be a key source for understanding the importance of works obscured by the established canon. The Forgotten redeems the legacy of women who contributed to the development of art, literature, science, thought and politics in the medieval and early modern periods but whose contributions were later denied: Hildegarde of Bingen and other erudite nuns, Cristine de Pizan, Beatriz Galindo, painters Sofonisba Anguissola and Artemisia Gentileschi, playwright and spy Aphra Behn, Saint Teresa of Ávila, writer María de Zayas.... These are just a few of the countless women who helped lay the foundation for the world we live in today.
